Star makes a comeback in 'The Renegades' (4)
I believe the answer is:
rats
'the renegades' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'star makes a comeback' is the wordplay.
'makes a comeback' says the letters should be written in reverse (I've seen 'making a comeback' mean this).
'star' in reverse letter order is 'RATS'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rats that I've seen before include "deserters" , "Oh no" , "Blast" , "Curse" , "Tells" .)
